Vernissage - Pride and resilience: 25 years of stories from LGBTQ2S+ families | LGBT Family Coalition

The exhibit

Meet some thirty LGBTQ2S+ families from different backgrounds and cultures. Through photographs and audio excerpts, they'll tell you their unique stories: soloparentality, biparentality, pluriparentality, adoption, inseminations in a clinic or at home, surrogate pregnancy, surprise pregnancy, biological family, extended family, chosen family, "out and proud" or more discreet family, religious, spiritual or atheist family... The LGBT+ Family Coalition proudly highlights these differences to celebrate its 25 years of struggle, love, hope and social change, past and future. May the work continue!

PSSST! Bring your headphones and smartphones to have access to the audio extracts! Free Wi-Fi is provided.
